Ryan Blaney: 2019 NASCAR Season Preview and Prediction

When an organization like Team Penske adds a third team just for you, it’s about as big a vote of confidence as a driver can get. Owner Roger Penske had enough faith in Ryan Blaney to do just that last year, and Blaney responded with his best season so far, posting career bests in top 5s (eight), top 10s (16), poles (three), average finish (14.8) and laps led (660). He won a wild playoff race on Charlotte’s infield road course as well.
